Before Ed Currie became famous worldwide, he also sold his chili sauces at community festivals. He invested several thousand dollars in his breeding and in the entry in the Guinness Book of Records. In addition to his professional career, Ed Currie initially devoted himself to chili growing as a hobby. The degree of sharpness on the Scoville-Heat-Units scale was accurately determined using an HPLC method (high-performance liquid chromatography). Over a period of about five years, before the entry into the Guinness Book, Professor Cliff Calloway and his students examined the samples. To measure the capsaicin content, Ed Currie regularly sent a pound of chilies to Winthrop University in South Carolina. Carolina Reaper appropriately fills the role with the Grim Reaper. The second part of the name is probably derived from Grim Reaper. Later, the new chili plant was named after its origin, the US state of South Carolina. Before the new strain got its fear-inducing name, he gave the chili the code name HP22B which stands for “High Power, Pot 22 and Plant B”2. He probably created the sharp Capsicum monster from a Naga and a Caribbean Habanero. In professional circles, the Carolina Reaper breeder, Ed Currie, is known as a fantastic-crazy natural scientist. Anyone who has ever rubbed their eyes after cutting chilies knows what is meant. Mistakes made with this type of chili can be dangerously painful. Most people learn quickly from painful experiences.
